So more or less my suspension mods would be more costly than some drag springs and control arms, so i decided on spending the money i have now on the motor to make it a decent runner, and mod the suspension later when the pay checks start rollin in.

Ok i can relate here. haha. As i said, stock 5.0 except exhaust and the fun stuff.
I threw down ford springs, mm c/c, and link kit an bushings. Oh and kyb gr2 struts. Lowered it about 2 inches in the front, and when i had everything out i blasted the a arms and such.

Its such a difference even with no work on the back. I live in a small city, not much 2 lane streets and stuff. But i know where all the sweet turns and roads are. I hit them before and after the suspension mods and its the best like 600 ive ever spent. Its a stiff ride, but what can i say its good vibrations.

I have drove this car on wron out tires, and had my close calls going around corners. Now it hooks soo welll just like taking a turn at 60 - 80 ( km ) so like 50 miles? ish... ( canadian )

Trust me man, if its a dd, and you just want to enjoy the ride, ( not comft ) then go suspension. I honestly cant wait to do the rear suspension. All it has now is just the springs. Its got a bad *** rack to it, and i love it.
